Stanley Kubrick Exhibit at LACMA

"Art consists of reshaping life but it does not create life, nor cause life." -Stanley Kubrick

Stanley Kubrick was known for exerting complete artistic control
over his projects; in doing so, he reconceived the genres in which he worked. Visit LACMA's Stanley Kubrick Exhibiton now through June 30, 2013. Tickets are available here.

Stanley Kubrick is known for his visually stimulating cinematography. His consistent design style is all about symmetry, contrast and subtlety which has influenced film, fashion and interior design.

Two of our favorite classic/traditional interiors from "Clockwork Orange" demonstrating his love of contrast and symmetry.

Kubrick's visual signatures include stark contrasts, like the bold blacks and whites and some pops of color. He demonstrates his eye for blod design thru the lens and with his costume selections.

The exhibition covers the breadth of Kubrick’s practice, beginning with his
early photographs for Look magazine, taken in the 1940s, and
continuing with his groundbreaking directorial achievements of the 1950s
through the 1990s.

after her death, the photo of Frida, taken by photographer Nickolas Muray in
1939, will appear on the cover of Vogue Mexico’s November 2012 issue. The
magazine will hit newsstands just before the November 22nd opening
of“Appearances Can Be Deceiving: The Dresses of Frida
Kahlo” at the Frida Kahlo Museum in Mexico City. Frida Kahlo did
appear once in the pages of U.S. Vogue, in the October, 1937 edition; but this is

edition of Vogue will feature a story about Kahlo’s exhibition, her unique
style and her influence on designers like Jean Paul Gaultier and Comme des Garcons’s Rei Kawakubo who have designed collections inspired by the incredible
artist who certainly suffered for her art. Born just before the
Mexican revolution, Frida became the voice of modern Mexico, especially for
women. At the age of six, Frida contracted polio, whi…
